Region

Rosso di Montepulciano may be produced from vineyards permitted for Vino nobile, however Poliziano have elected to designate vineyards with the most suitable characteristics for the production of a young, fruity, full-bodied yet not aggressive wine. This decision has enabled Federico Carletti to gain valuable experience and today produce this modern style wine, exemplary of the best of the Poliziano estate.
